    well i have somehwere between 130-140 pounds of LBM so my goal weight is significantly higher than what's going to be on a chart. but since my goal is 20% body fat, the weight range is 156-168. ultimate goal is size 6 so i think for me that's going to be around 160

    I'm similar, carrying a bit more lean mass than a goal of 120-125lb would ever allow. I ain't destroying any of this muscle for the scale to say a "certain" number.

    I'm 5'6", currently at ~146/147lbs and 25% BF. I'm going for a BF % goal as well. I'm sporting around 110 lbs of LBM presently, so my goal will likely be around the 140lb range (ultimate goal of 135lb for a 18%BF, just to see I can get there, then bulk back to 140-145lb for a sustainable level).

    I have no idea what my LBM is (I have a lot of questions for my doctor at the next physical), but right now my ticker is set for 125 as well. Since I only became an "adult" last year, I can safely say I have never been that low in my adult life. In fact the last time I remember that weight is from around when I hit puberty, so at 150 there will be some reassessing going on.

    Roughly 165 and 22-24% body fat. I am about 5'5. Also on the higher lean body mass end with around 125 pound of LBM.

    I'm heading for 124 & 18%.

    I think when I get closer though it will start bouncing around a bit juggling weight with BF till it settles where I'm happy :smile:

    Mine's probably higher than most: 170. I kinda have a lot of muscle, and I don't really carry weight in my stomach, so I think I'll look decent at that weight. If I'm not satisfied, maybe 165 at the very least. I can't imagine myself being 120-140!

    SW 11st 11lb
    CW 9st 9lb
    GW 9st 5lb

    Once I get down to 9st 5lb my "comfort zone" will be 9st 7lb, i.e. I'm hoping to overshoot my actual goal weight by 2lb to give me some confidence to start working on muscle.

    i'm 5'7" and i think my ultimate goal is 160lbs. my doctor doesn't want me below 150lbs and i remember feeling pretty good around 160-170, so i might reassess when i get to 170 (i'm a LONG way off from that and don't know if i'll ever get there - but i'm staying positive!).

    I used to be 5ft 7" but I have shrunk to 5ft 6" (probably due to being so heavy for so long that & possibly my age. I really miss that extra inch. A lady in the supermarket the other day saw me struggling to reach for something on the top shelf & kindly got it for me & I thought "that used to be me" Anyway as I have a long way to go & I have set myself a goal of 165lbs & will then re-assess.

    Working to get to 140lbs eventually. I've always been curvy or heavy in my life, and I don't think I really want to bust myself down to 130. Ideally I'd like to stay around 150lbs, but since I've lost and gained before I want to give myself 10lbs of wiggle room, just in case.

    SW: 250
    CW: 223
    GW: 140
    Started in: April 2014

    Best of luck on your journey!

    I'm 5'6" and currently hovering between 145 and 146. For years my "happy weight" has been 135, but honestly, I started lifting heavy weights a few months ago and now I don't really care (as long as the number doesn't creep upwards. Its the most freeing thing: I'm working on getting stronger, and eating enough protein. Barely any deficit, I feel great, and self-confidence is much improved. In a few months I'd like to get body fat tested and target that, but for now, I just want to get stronger and lose a few inches!:tongue:

    I'm 5'6, I'm currently 190
    My highest was 284 (that I recorded), and my lowest was 155. I had a baby almost 2 years ago, and I would love to get to 140 as an ultimate goal weight.
